HOW TO MAKE HAWAIIAN RIBBON LEIS

A Step-by-Step-Guide - According to Hawaiian tradition, leis are symbols of love and friendship, to be given to others with a warm embrace and a kiss. Unlike flower leis, which eventually wither and fade, ribbon leis are treasured through the years, gifts of aloha that can last a lifetime. For this reason, beautiful and everlasting ribbon leis are a popular alternative to flower leis in the Islands. With this first-ever easy-to-follow visual guide you can fashion your own ribbon leis from materials found at any craft or fabric store. Fifteen different ribbon lei designs are showcased. Many are created to resemble local floral favorites such as pikake, 'ilima, hinahina, firecracker and white ginger. Each design is described in detail with step-by-step instructions and colorful photo illustrations.
